THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 31 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: UP FROM EARTH'S CENTER THROUGH THE SEVENTH GATE
Last Line: BUT NOT THE MASTER-KNOT OF HUMAN FATE.
Subject(s): TIME;
Up from Earth's Centre through the Seventh Gate
I rose, and on the Throne of Saturn sate:
And many a Knot unravelled by the Road;
But not the Master-knot of Human Fate.
